A good high-top would be great with either long-pant overalls or short-pant overalls. Here’s a nice basic black pair from Common Projects

COCKTAILS

(PB NOTE -We will begin with my Favorite!)

OLD FASHION

The origins of the word “cocktail” are lost to history, but the first definition we find in print comes from an 1806 newspaper from upstate New York. A cocktail is called “a stimulating liquor, composed of spirits of any kind, sugar, water, and bitters…” Over the course of the 19th century, the cocktail picked up a number of additions and refinements: liqueurs, fortified wines, various bits of garnish, et cetera. Eventually, some drinkers came to prefer a simpler form of cocktail, the type their grandfathers might have enjoyed, and so they’d ask the bartender to make them an “old-fashioned” cocktail, of booze, sugar muddled into water to form a syrup, and bitters.

(PB NOTE: using flavored bitters can really spice up this traditional cocktail as well as trying different types of citrus)

GROOMING

It’s time to get rid of the wear and tear of winter with a good hand cream. (Men’s Society)

Wallets are one of the greatest accessories in a Dandi’s wardrobe because it can be one of the few fashion items you can tweak to go with your mood without too much cash outlay. Speaking of the green stuff, what better way to honor it and our planet than to stick it into something that represents the best sense of the word green.

Rhode Island artists April Gramolini and Richer Giasson take the unassuming coffee bean bag and make wonderful items out of it for your wardrobe like belts, tote bags and the wallet shown here.
